The league bowling season in Kenosha is a month away from reaching its always eventful conclusion.

The finals of the Women’s Division and Dick Reynolds Memorial Super Senior Men’s Division — now named in honor of a Kenosha bowling mainstay — will be on Sunday, May 14, and Wednesday, May 17. The finals of the Senior Men’s Division will be on Monday, May 15, and Thursday, May 18, and the finals of the Men’s Division will be on Tuesday, May 16, and Friday, May 19, all at GRC.
